MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Caltrans announced Friday that it will be closing the pedestrian overcrossing on State Route 156 for five days starting July 15.

The SR 156/Geil Street Pedestrian Overcrossing is set to reopen on July 19 after construction will allow for enhancements to the overcross, according to Caltrans.

Caltrans announced that this phase of work is part of an ongoing Clean California Project including overcrossing wall upgrades and a colorful public art mural. It will also add new landscaping with upgraded flowering shade trees, shrubs and more groundcover.

"Seating benches, decorative fencing, solar powered path lighting and improve[d] adjacent sidewalk entrances with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complaint detectable warning surfaces" are all a part of the project, according to Caltrans.

There will be a temporary pedestrian access route available during the closure with an approximate 30-minute additional walk time.

The contractor for the almost $1 million project is Hoseley Corporation and it is slated to be finished in the fall.

I’ve been an international professional writer and performer for over 25 years. With a background in journalism, creative writing, dance and aerial, I find the intersection between all of these skills lands itself somewhere under the term “storytelling.”
